Clio, the Muse of History

The
Ravenscroft School Cliosophic Society is an honor society consisting
of and led by Upper School students at Ravenscroft School, affiliated
with the National History Club. The society is dedicated to the cultivation
of memory, the promotion of the reading and writing of history, and
recognition of excellence in the study of history and social studies.
Emphasis is placed on not only student performance in social studies
classes at Ravenscroft but also individual interest and independent
scholarship. Accordingly, the goals of the Cliosophic Society are:

to promote the cultivation of memory
and historical wisdom

to recognize and honor students
who achieve at the highest level

to promote independent scholarship
among students in history and social studies

In order to be inducted into the Cliosophic
Society, the student must:

have a general interest in history

have completed a research paper on an historical
topic

maintain a high average in history courses

Membership in this organization automatically
entitles a student to membership in the National History Club honor
society, and as a member, he or she will receive newsletters and updates
